So valiant warrior as this pale-faced

To BUSINESS MEN.-The prospect
is that the coming season will be a
busy one, and that many strangers
will be attracted to Point Pleasant
in the early Spring, in fact they
are beginning TO arrive already
1t is important that our business
men make an effort to secure new
business and retain their old trade.
There is no more economical, east
er or better way to dothis than by
a regular and promptly attended to
advertisement in a respectable and
influential newspaper like the
REGISTER, that goes to its thousands
of readers every week with a
promptness equal TO clock work =
Point Pleasant is not what it was
a few years ago. It is command
ing attention from every quarter.
tits fast developing into city
Il has two railroads already built
to it, and fully equipped for pass
enger and freight traffic, and big
bridge to span the Kanawha, and
another railroad IN course of con-
struction to this place. The great
influx of laborfng men and others
viii make it necessary that our
business people get out of the old
rut or they will be superseded by
younger and more energetic stran-
gers who will shear them of their
trade. Gentlemen you can't go
along in the same easy gait you
use to. Young, active, energetic
men will push you to the wall, If
you don't keep up with the times
and push your business. You
must push your business into new
fields, secure new customers and
keep al your old ones. Advert
sing will very materially assist
you to do this.

A Nice Mess or II:


We clip the following from the
Morgantown NesD Dominion. and il
applys go well to this county that
we adopt it:
We hope the farmers like it.
We refer to the mud.
If they have not all fallen
through the bottom of the roads
and will come to town next sum
mer, We want an opportunity t.
congratulate them. 9
The farmer that has to go int
his hole like bear for the winter
season, ought to be congratulated
when he gets out.
He must feel lean and fresh and
new to the world, like Rip VaI
Wrinkle after his twenty years sleep
He scarcely knows whether he il
still living under the U. S. Govern
ment or a foreign power. Hi
drops behind the times SO far tina
it takes him all the summer season
to catch up, and by that time b,
must go into his hole again for an
other winters isolation.
We imagine that there is grea
deal of exhilifation in this kline
of a lifel
When we think of it we would
suppose our farmers ready tomort
gage their farms and every bit Of
property they possess to obtain
roads that would relieve them from
this enforced isolation.
How much it would add to the
life, the business, the pleasure o.
living in this county, if at any seas
on the farmer could jump into his
buggy or wagon and trot to town
on hard road, or go to visit a dis
tant neighbo for a social chat.
We could have all this without
any oppression to the taxpayers if
the people would unite and deter.
mine that it should be. The peo
pie of the town are now relieved
from their isolation. They have
railroads that will take them out
and bring them in at all seasons Of
the year. But the people of the
country districts cannot use this
because they cannot get to it,
Now, the people of town are will,
ing to help the farmers to make
hard roads through the county in
order that we may all be brought
together into higher prosperity
and closer social union.
